When The MeToo Movement Gets it Wrong, How Do They Make It Right?<p> <span style="font-family: arial;">by the Friends of George Cushingberry</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Can a
candidate get elected by the citizen-electors after resigning from office
after being accused and acquitted of sexual harassment in a court of public
opinion and acquitted in a court of law? Can a disgraced former Detroit City
Councilmember Pro-Tempore be elected to Mayor in 2025? </span><span style="font-family: arial;">In 2024, 2025 and 2026, a new election cycle will take place
in America. Stating from the 2024 election for President and United States Senate for Michigan, the 2025 statewide election for Mayors,
City Council members and Clerks, up to the 2026 midterm election will we see
more politically timed accusations of sexual misconduct that eventually get
proven false after the election cycle is over.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6gOizwnfzhfe_JTKmEzgE69QZpxFh6wUIDjHjj_m5jKisc_cJzgfzsI5Jbu33Ch5i3U9WAjv0Do61HNcjipvmZvC1_RqId2-SeKfn8DGRaiI-uhLoifa-CN7JaltQE5EG-l2XUnW2hn6O0wluNrSS6WAYbwioPKQdYtItYz_KnPoGvk6jpJryWrZBg/s1200/joe-biden-official-portrait_1600jpg.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6gOizwnfzhfe_JTKmEzgE69QZpxFh6wUIDjHjj_m5jKisc_cJzgfzsI5Jbu33Ch5i3U9WAjv0Do61HNcjipvmZvC1_RqId2-SeKfn8DGRaiI-uhLoifa-CN7JaltQE5EG-l2XUnW2hn6O0wluNrSS6WAYbwioPKQdYtItYz_KnPoGvk6jpJryWrZBg/w320-h320/joe-biden-official-portrait_1600jpg.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">President Joe Biden</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Other males such as entertainers, journalists, businessmen,
felt the wrath of the MeToo movement also. Somewhere along the way of legit
allegations, the MeToo movement was hijacked by grifters and political
operatives who had ulterior motives for political power and financial gain. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The list of the accused starts with former
Senator Al Franken of Minnesota, former State Representative and Detroit City Councilmember George
Cushingberry Jr, and President Joe Biden.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Al Franken was a Senator from Minnesota that resigned under
pressure from colleagues after a sexual harassment charge by Leean Tweeden a
conservative talk-radio host and Breitbart News contributor. Ms. Tweeden
accused him of forcing himself on her in 2006. She was able to find seven other
women to support her allegation. Although both of them called for an
investigation, the investigation never happened, and Al Franken chose to roll
over and quit without a fight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After further review of the allegations many
of his Senate colleagues like Tammy Duckworth, Heidi Heithkamp, Patrick Leahy
and others wanted to apologize for being suckered by Ms. Tweeden and her
friends at Breitbart and Fox News. They all said that he should have stood up
and fought the charges in front of the Senate Ethics Committee<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">President Joe Biden was accused of sexual harassment by a
former employee by the name of Tara Reade, a law school graduate who worked on
the staff of Senator Joe Biden. She obviously had a simmering beef over the
years with him and plotted to derail President Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unlike Al Franken, Joe Biden stood up to
this woman’s baseless charges that she could not remember the details of being
sexually harassed and, is a female version of current US. Representative
George Santos (R-NY), who is a proven fraud and a candidate for treatment for mental illness. Ms.
Reade is a grifting opportunist going on news outlets like Fox with Tucker
Carlson and Megan Kelly with her allegations of sexual harassment looking for a
quick buck. Her case was so flimsy it was quickly dismissed by the voters in
November 2020 by 81 million votes for President Joseph Biden.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">George Cushingberry Jr. is a retired State Representative
and former member of the Detroit City Council from January 1<sup>st</sup>, 2014,
to December 31<sup>st</sup>, 2017. In May of 2017 he was accused of sexual
harassment by former staffer Cleo Wiley after being released from her job on
the staff of Councilmember Cushingberry. She proceeded to sue the City
of Detroit in State and Federal court and was successful in denying Mr. Cushingberry
a 2<sup>nd</sup> term with City Council by a surprise defeat in the August 2017
primary election.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you thought that
things were done, Mr. Cushingberry decided to run for State Senator in 2018.
Just like running the same play again in a football game, the charges of sexual
harassment from Ms. Wiley appeared in the Detroit Free Press and Fox News. His
lead quickly vanished, and Mr. Cushingberry was unsuccessful in his bid for
Michigan State Senate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>On March 11, 2020, US District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani
dismissed all Federal charges against retired Michigan State Representative and
former Detroit City Council-member George Cushingberry Jr. In a 23-page ruling,
Judge Battani ruled that Cleo Wiley did not have sufficient evidence of sexual
harassment and, was not entitled to protection under Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 as an Independent Contractor. On April 16th, 2021, a
sad chapter for the City of Detroit came to a quiet end when Wayne County
Circuit Court Judge Dana Hathaway dismissed all State of Michigan charges of
sexual harassment and, wrongful discharge alleged by Cleo Wiley against George
Cushingberry and the City of Detroit. Judge Hathaway agreed with the decision
of US District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani that charges brought by Wiley
had no grounds and lacked credibility. </i></span></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">At the same time that Matt Lauer, John Conyers, Harvey Weinstein
and Bill Cosby were getting crucified by the Me-Too movement, former President
Donald Trump was the ultimate pimp and abuser of many women. All of the sinful acts included sex and paying them off with hush money and, you did not hear one objection from anyone within the Me-Too organization. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVOV4pyDCAHRUuHrql5CQWtbjQ6y0ek7R6rCfn80lUxmsulIH0OQBvIZXTTwc_9xFN9U6KHVD5v6x51T7Amty4lMe3W_T3obPwQuL1oDsyl6KwnU6VKRfdMj5S_3khFaxlMKfdGwC8nAkJrTJGve56CZEzXMmqNwYUKkR6Xd3x_5PTG_mg33XNWxSTyw/s467/SexualHarassers.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="286" data-original-width="467" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVOV4pyDCAHRUuHrql5CQWtbjQ6y0ek7R6rCfn80lUxmsulIH0OQBvIZXTTwc_9xFN9U6KHVD5v6x51T7Amty4lMe3W_T3obPwQuL1oDsyl6KwnU6VKRfdMj5S_3khFaxlMKfdGwC8nAkJrTJGve56CZEzXMmqNwYUKkR6Xd3x_5PTG_mg33XNWxSTyw/s320/SexualHarassers.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tara Reade and Cleo Wiley</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">After further review of the Me-Too accusers, each one of the
accusers filed their actions for maximum leverage to shake down target of their
wrath. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In each instance, the timing of
the filing of charges occurred during political campaigns for election or
re-election to damage them at the ballot box.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If they are successful, the accuser gets a nice payday. If not,
the accuser is still successful if the target of the accuser’s wrath fails to get elected to public office.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When the information is proven false in a court of law, the
accusers and their legal team blow away like clouds in the sky passing by on a
beautiful day knowing there will be no repercussions for the filing of false
police reports and their actions in the name of vengeance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Vicious slander by select right-wing biased news organizations make you ask what someone
can do about the damage of false information?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In the case of entertainers like Matt Lauer, Johnny Depp and Dr. Bill
Cosby, the accused have the option of suing the accusers and news outlets in a
court of law. Politicians who have self-confidence can take the chance of
running for elected office again or, choose to raise the white flag to
surrender.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As of this writing an exploratory
committee is being proposed to explore the possibility of Mr. Cushingberry elected to the United States Senate in 2024 or, Mayor of the City of Detroit in 2025.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Q_8ZUbOzBNmsimjQYMrdrMc7cNkMKssnX5f_rQ00C8Lvu2JpFuzE6366aaileB54BnLNY2VssB_946FCzxtXzSoPbp0Zt_3t9zx38guZZT9PvRuZ081DjZfqjBB1IF9gFzpkMOTdt_7Q-F2nxT8qXAMr9sXSTiSu8k8Ia1BbIIAQoEW78hkR3qBMxg/s2048/006.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Q_8ZUbOzBNmsimjQYMrdrMc7cNkMKssnX5f_rQ00C8Lvu2JpFuzE6366aaileB54BnLNY2VssB_946FCzxtXzSoPbp0Zt_3t9zx38guZZT9PvRuZ081DjZfqjBB1IF9gFzpkMOTdt_7Q-F2nxT8qXAMr9sXSTiSu8k8Ia1BbIIAQoEW78hkR3qBMxg/s320/006.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The exploration of an<br />Exploratory Committee to Elect George Cushingberry <br />United States Senator - Michigan 2024<br />or<br />Mayor - City of Detroit 2025</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Will we see more accusations by people of sexual harassment
for political or financial gain? ABSOLUTELY YES! Before the next election cycle
in 2024 and beyond, the accusers must be exposed as opportunists who strike at
the right time for monetary gain or to damage a campaign to benefit another
candidate. Sadly, these bogus allegations take away from legitimate complaints
of sexual harassment forcing good people who would make great public servants
and entertainers go into hiding mode and never be heard from again. It’s beyond
time to look past the distractions and elect candidates on merit and the ability
to accomplish tasks placed before them to improve the quality of life in the
community.</span></p>

damn about the Detroit Public Schools. Under their management people
drank dirty water in Flint, higher taxes were levied on retirees and, education dollars
were used to pay off grifters at the expense of Detroit children. For example, DPS
schools like Benjamin Davis Aerospace were gutted to create for profit charter
schools in Grand Rapids to the detriment of the neighborhood.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Crockett family has a proven track record regarding her family’s
contribution to the quality of life for the community. By re-installing Dr Crockett’s
legacy to the Detroit Public Schools System, our citizens vow to repair the
damage from 10 years of mismanagement from Lansing. The only objection to the
restoration is coming from commentators on Fox “News”, people who do not live
in the City of Detroit or, associate grifters who live in the city that lack a
sense of community. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Who cares about the 55 former HUD employees that he hired writing
a letter of support for him. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who cares
about Dr. Alveda King in Atlanta, Sean Hannity and the rest of that clown car
of hosts on Fox News crying in their beer with their childish insults about the City of Detroit. Given the quality of the candidates that they
support, the children of the Detroit Public School system would make better
politicians than the people they endorse now from Donald Trump on down.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The fact is that under emergency management by Governor Rick Snyder, organizations
like the Educational Achievement Authority that was imposed upon the Detroit Public School System got the attention of the FBI to investigate Chancellor John Covington for racketeering and fraud. As of this printing, no one was ever convicted of a crime, even though they should have,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Our children deserve better role models than Ben Carson, whose endorsement of Herschel Walker for a United States
Senator in Georgia was the ultimate insult to the United States of America,
especially African Americans with any sense of integrity. We cannot and, will not allow our
children to be misled by outside interests who do not have the best interest of
our children’s future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Therefore, we will take back our school system one building
at a time by endorsing new legislation in Lansing that will refinance
our schools, pay our teachers and, bring out the best in our DPSCD students. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Finally, the family of Dr. Crockett, alumni and, supporters, want to thank the members of the Detroit Public School
Board Community District and Superintendent Nikolai Vitti for supporting our choice with your unanimous vote to restore
our queen, Dr. Ethelene Crockett to the High School of Science and Technology
in Detroit Michigan.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>

Organizations like DTE, Detroit Water and Sewer and, others print refund checks or credits if you were overcharged for goods and services so why not the City of Detroit?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Another pressing issue for the council is the return of processing tax returns by the City of Detroit Finance Department. The contract with the State of Michigan has proven to be a disaster because, you cannot pay the city through the state website for taxes due. There have been instances where citizens were receiving letters for taxes due when they were paid off. Citizens deserve better record keeping by their government and, with a little more investment, this can be done to serve the people much better.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">We hope that the new council starts to re-invest into Police and Firefighter recruitment and training. Civil service are often overlooked and deserve much respect and attention paid to their needs. This council can rectify the water situation by reclaiming the water the department from the Great Lakes Water Authority and, state appointed review boards with increased oversight to address any discrepancies in the department.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Finally, when you fix the damn water, you will fix the damn roads. In order to fix the water you have to tear up the streets to lay new pipe. When that is done, you have to repair the road and, it ends up being a two for one public service project.

This action if allowed by the law department gives the appearance of a payoff to plaintiff Wiley for damaging George Cushingberry Jr's re-election to Detroit City Council in 2017 and, election to the Michigan State Senate 2018.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">On April 16<sup>th</sup>, 2021 a sad chapter for the City of Detroit came
to a quiet end when Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Dana Hathaway dismissed
all charges of sexual harassment and, wrongful discharge alleged by Cleo Wiley
against George Cushingberry and the City of Detroit. Judge Hathaway agreed with the decision of US
District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani that charges brought by Wiley had no
grounds and lacked credibility. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">On Wednesday March 11, 2020, US District Court Judge
Marianne O. Battani dismissed all charges against Detroit City Council Members
and, former Detroit City Council-member George Cushingberry Jr. In a stinging 23-page
ruling, Judge Battani ruled that Cleo Wiley did not have sufficient evidence of
sexual harassment and, was not entitled to protection under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 as an Independent Contractor. The court
proceedings clearly showed that all Individuals named in her lawsuit did not
support ANY of her claims of harassment and, Wiley’s status as an at-will
employee was understood by both parties. The filing of the case by attorney
Robin Beth Wagner on 3/13/2020 was a feeble, last-ditch and, cowardly act to
hijack the taxpayers of Detroit under the guise of the #metoo movement.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp71zCttM5vSp3H4sdULuqZwI3t_UcWsflPshJUj-Y2-xZHFyBjpFjUkIuwZoMiHfJ_NMITVKkFnxIVbHAnY7V35X-eHnb_z7dUODtdCR4J5JzJ9sbroqWKOYOoEJLr7O2wsJEU7mNKtY/s467/SexualHarassers.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="286" data-original-width="467" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp71zCttM5vSp3H4sdULuqZwI3t_UcWsflPshJUj-Y2-xZHFyBjpFjUkIuwZoMiHfJ_NMITVKkFnxIVbHAnY7V35X-eHnb_z7dUODtdCR4J5JzJ9sbroqWKOYOoEJLr7O2wsJEU7mNKtY/s320/SexualHarassers.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tara Reade and Cleo Wiley</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">After further review of the #metoo movement, it seems that
the only two people who are incarcerated for sexual harassment is a White Jew
(Harvey Weinstein) and an African American (Dr. Bill Cosby). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While these men rot in prison, 74 million Americans
voted for a President (Donald Trump) that harassed women, paid them off to be
quiet and, incited a riot that cost people their lives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">This #metoo movement has been hijacked by women who are looking
for revenge against a man running for office that is perceived to have too much
power or make too much money. This practice of penis politics does nothing but
take the profession of prostitution to a new level. Mentally disturbed women with
a grudge use the #metoo movement at the behest of people running for elected
office or someone looking for a promotion within an organization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The policy of penis politics has a detrimental effect on any
organization. From President Joe Biden, Dr. Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Former Senator Al Franken, Gov
Mario Cuomo and others, these charges only benefit the accusers for financial
gain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The accused victims that have given
back to their communities get replaced by do nothing incompetent people that
talk the talk, instead of walking the walk. At the same time, 86-year-old Carolyn
Bryant Norman, the woman who lied on Emmitt Till in 1955 is alive and well in
Mississippi not facing any prosecution at all. She is being hidden in plain
sight by family members who have not been investigated by US Marshals for hiding
a criminal.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/leonard-pitts-jr/article216255585.html" target="_blank">Website Miami Hearld: Emmit Till How a White Woman's lie got a Black Boy Killed</a></span></blockquote><p> </p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Team Cushingberry sincerely thanks all supporters who believed
in George Cushingberry’s innocence and, sends his most sincere apologies to the
women who were used against their will by plaintiff Attorney Wagner to sustain a lie for
a political gain that: gained nothing but attention for r</span><span style="font-family: arial; text-indent: -0.25in;">ogue news organizations promulgating fake news
for profit and, p</span><span style="font-family: arial; text-indent: -0.25in;">olitical operatives with ulterior motives to
the detriment of the majority of black citizens</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">After 5 years of lies and innuendo, George Cushingberry can peacefully
carry on with the rest of his life, free from harassment from grifters and,
gold-diggers who are looking to get something for nothing with nothing to show
for it. Under the leadership of former President Pro-Tempore George Cushingberry,
the taxpayers of Detroit have been protected again from enemies of the people
practicing penis politics for profit.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Case No. 20-003959-CD <o:p></o:p></span></p>

He also said that the Federal Aviation Administration and MDOT offered a 95 to 1 ratio of funding to cities and schools for the purposes of development as a matter of fact. All they require is a plan. With a sound business plan, the airline industry will return to normal and, new air carriers will offer services at the airport with flights, creating jobs. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The rumor of expanding City Airport will shut down Metro Airport will be rendered null and void. Instead it will be a partnership with a new Wayne County Airport Authority that includes Wayne County Community College and, DPSCD. By electing Detroit Public School board members with a vison, this money will allow for the development of a Wayne County Regional Airport partnership with Detroit Public Schools. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Homeowners will be paid to relocate and paid well. Especially the all the property between Van Dyke and Conner including t</span><span style="font-family: arial;">he church on French Road because they will be sacrificing their property for a new dual purpose runway for training education and General aviation. Commercial airlines will have a longer runway that extends from McNichols (6 mile) to Gratiot for their and, a new tunnel under McNichols using allocated FAA and USDOT funding programs. For every one dollar that the City of Detroit and, Detroit Public Schools invest into the airport grounds, the federal government will match it with 95 dollars to help complete the project. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Interested airline carriers such as Delta, Jet Blue and a host of others have often indicated support for this effort because of the need for people in the aviation industry. Surveys were performed by previous city councilmembers demonstrated the benefit of investment into City Airport with city pension funds instead of a pipeline from Lake Huron to Flint. If the management from Lansing would have taken the proper actions, the people would have realized a 95 to one return on their investment. Because of poor decisions made, the Detroit Public School district lost jobs and revenue from landing fees from missing air traffic. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhrWDSzvWLHVUsvX6QQqGHY-lvglea5fuFXAGB3sdY31zQiq7EEX7aZi5mLKzxE5ylKtpzuxbUj9O8lcJRP87Kk8e9XXrQWjI7WCkDoU8FWTA-mRaUqBZYuYAXcZCgrDRjr_t8Ltrjpyg/s1124/ClementForDPS.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1124" data-original-width="843" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhrWDSzvWLHVUsvX6QQqGHY-lvglea5fuFXAGB3sdY31zQiq7EEX7aZi5mLKzxE5ylKtpzuxbUj9O8lcJRP87Kk8e9XXrQWjI7WCkDoU8FWTA-mRaUqBZYuYAXcZCgrDRjr_t8Ltrjpyg/w240-h320/ClementForDPS.jpg" title="#Clement2020" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The expansion of Benjamin O. Davis HS will include internship programs in fighting fires at an airport with the Detroit Fire Department. This will take away the excuse given by Mayor Duggan that certain pilots will not land in Detroit because there are no fire trucks on site with proper equipment. With a better plan presented to MDOT and FAA, all of this can be accomplished quickly. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Finally, the current board does not reflect the history and legacy of the Detroit Public Schools. Jared Finney, Dr. Ethelene Crockett should have never been removed from the system.

Wiley in the 3rd Judicial Circuit Court, Wayne County Michigan. </font><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">On Wednesday March 11, 2020, US District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani dismissed all charges against the City of Detroit, Detroit City Council Members and, retired State Representative and former Detroit City Council-member George Cushingberry Jr. In her 23 page ruling, Judge Battani ruled that Cleo Wiley did not have sufficient evidence of sexual harassment and, was not entitled to protection under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as an Independent Contractor. The court properly ruled that anyone working for a Detroit City Council member under a personal services contract is an at will employee subject to immediate dismissal. </span></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">On Friday March 13, 2020, attorney Robin Beth Wagner filed the same charges with</font><span style="font-family: arial;"> 3rd Circuit Court Judge Dana Margret Hathaway using State of Michigan Elliot/Larsen discrimination laws. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">The schedule of events for the case per order of Judge Hathaway:</span></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><font face="arial">Witness Exchange Filing: September 4, 2020</font></li><li><font face="arial">Discovery Cutoff Date: October 23, 2020</font></li><li><font face="arial">Case Evaluation Month: December 2020</font></li></ol></div><div><font face="arial">After step three is completed, two events are required to occur by court rule. The first one is a settlement conference and, the second one is a motion to dismiss the charges. Unless a motion to dismiss is filed within 30 days or, a settlement conference for both parties is held within 42 days the case will proceed to trial. It is noted in the record by Judge Battani that allegations are dismissed at the state level because of similarities between state and federal laws. </font></div><div><font face="arial"><br /></font></div><div><font face="arial">The pursuit of this lawsuit the plaintiff is another attempt to shake down the taxpayers of Detroit for money. During George Cushingberry's time as President Pro-Tempore of City Council, he was responsible for putting in rules to prevent attack by plaintiffs filing frivolous lawsuits against the city. He was also responsible for installing automation for the City Parking Department in 2015 generating over $200,000 dollars in revenue within one month of implementation. Among other monetary gains for the city, assets like Detroit City Airport and Benjamin O. Davis Aerospace High School were protected from the plans of Mayor Mike Duggan to shut it down to build more buildings that we don't need, given the massive vacancy rate of existing structures in the city.</font></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><font face="arial">After further review of his four year term on the Council, the incidents regarding former Council member George Cushingerry regarding a "high speed" police chase, antique cars and, sexual harassment charges were falsehoods promoted by Fox 2 Detroit News, led by former reporter M.L. Elrick. </font></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">The car chase was proven to be false, the "antique" car was sold much less than value than advertised and, the sexual harassment charges were dismissed in court. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Out of respect for the great men and women of the Detroit Police Department, police brutality charges and filing false police report charges were never pursued against the officers. Instead, w</span><span style="font-family: arial;">e directed Chief James Craig to lecture the two officers on their mistakes and, to <u>never, ever</u> treat another citizen like that again. The culmination of t</span><span style="font-family: arial;">hese falsehoods served as grounds for dismissal of Mr. Elrick from Fox 2 Detroit in December of 2019. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-6WBCmeZGDf0bbj6z8pkpIBjw3Xr_HygaKCBdbqqqVNxLwEESYLaU-nrU9EXLHug_nPecx3DKPAD83bG0eTjlvFD4UBK9xliX7KS5z6M_xxuiXmjtXOWgzopAScL70_PG97KXpGGxKXN1/s467/SexualHarassers.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="286" data-original-width="467" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-6WBCmeZGDf0bbj6z8pkpIBjw3Xr_HygaKCBdbqqqVNxLwEESYLaU-nrU9EXLHug_nPecx3DKPAD83bG0eTjlvFD4UBK9xliX7KS5z6M_xxuiXmjtXOWgzopAScL70_PG97KXpGGxKXN1/w320-h196/SexualHarassers.jpg" title="Tara Reade and Cleo T.

maternal grandmother, Ethelene Jones Crockett, was born in 1914 in St. Joseph,
Michigan and grew </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">up in Jackson, Michigan. She attended Jackson Junior College
and graduated from University of Michigan. She married George Crockett, Jr. who
was an accomplished lawyer, judge and congressman in his own right, and they
had three children (including my Mom!) before she decided to attend medical school
at Howard University in 1942.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Grandmother Crockett served her medical internship at
Detroit Receiving Hospital but completed her residency in a New York City
hospital because no Detroit hospital would accept an African American woman.
She became the first Black female Ob/Gyn in the state of Michigan in 1952.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">She retired from active practice in 1972. In 1978 she
became the first woman president of the American Lung Association.
Unfortunately, she died later that same year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">My
grandmother was larger than life. I loved her very much. It would tickle her to
know that her junior college created an alumni award in her name. The Dr.
Ethelene Jones Crockett Distinguished Alumni Award is awarded annually by
Jackson Community College. Leonard Griehs won the award this year. Mr. Griehs
is vice president of investor relations at Campbell Soup Company.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I just wanted to use this post to express gratitude to JCC
for creating this award and to Mr. Griehs for winning it this year. Use this
post as your reminder to give your Mom or Grandmother a call! Tomorrow is not
promised to any of us.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiJA7hZ2nnhy3aDWRUtQwjatOtal-h0Gb8RB8m5ldM8gK1nBCajJfy114Mgwl1F2im9hUCDk0BIk297BxlfZoFec5wmhudjKpOqN89x57vHmmDuBqnuAw9int3EYzX3RsdFa5PbtDxMh2s/s960/RWayneHicks.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="959" data-original-width="960" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiJA7hZ2nnhy3aDWRUtQwjatOtal-h0Gb8RB8m5ldM8gK1nBCajJfy114Mgwl1F2im9hUCDk0BIk297BxlfZoFec5wmhudjKpOqN89x57vHmmDuBqnuAw9int3EYzX3RsdFa5PbtDxMh2s/w320-h318/RWayneHicks.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Working as political operatives, these women file lawsuits that are timed to strategically damage the reputation of the accused. The timing is crucial so that i</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">f the charges are challenged in court, the court dates are scheduled long after election day. This is done to cover the </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">accuser before the charges are determined to be false. For example h</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">arassment victims like former US Senator Al Franken and the late US Congressman John Conyers never got the benefit of due process in a court of law.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Franken decided to walk away from the job instead of fight. In Mr. Conyers case, the accusations led to complications that eventually took his life. However, </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">George Cushingberry was fortunate enough to court and was acquitted of all charges. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The damage to Mr. Cushingberry?</span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">He lost he election bid for the Michigan State Senate in 2018</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">It is a form of art for evil women to accuse prominent men of sexual harassment when they are perceived to have a lot of money or power. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The enablers of these accusers are looking for financial gain at the expense of a person's livelihood. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Instead of fighting the charges, the accused victim chooses to resign under duress or retire. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In a p</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">rivate business, the accused is fired from their employment and takes a settlement instead of going to court.</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The monetary reward to these accusers are pennies to the dollar compared to the monetary gains the accused have brought to the citizens. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, the accuser's story must be heard by a jury of her peers. Once the allegations have proven to be false, then the accuser must dealt with in proportion to the damage caused. Allowing this behavior to continue</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> is a poor example for young women to follow, turning them into hustlers instead of helpers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All of those people in Operation Gridlock are wasting their time trying to recall Governor Gretchen Whitmer. There will be no need to write tickets for congregating in a group because GM, Ford, and Hyundai are making more ventilators and test kits by the hour for Covid-19. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fixing my damn street with Hempcrete is a saying that is catching
on with some residents in the City of Detroit. There are too many pot-holes in
county and local roads like Hamtramck Drive around the General Motors plant in
Detroit and Oakland Avenue in Highland Park Michigan. With the use of Hempcrete
to fix the streets, people will have better things to do besides trying to
recall Governor Gretchen Whitmer. We the taxpayers have a lot of our money invested into the Michigan
National Guard. Once mobilized, they could use the work administering tests for
Covid-19 to all citizens by May 15th with a revision in the Federal Affordable
Care Act to cover the costs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Instead of trying to recall the Governor, you would be
better off getting her to sign all of the legislation that the Late Rep. Isaac
Robinson got approved by the House of Representatives into law. That would include
expungement reform for marijuana convictions and, amending the legislation with banning the use of marijuana
against a prospective employee as a condition of employment. This is much safer
than being on the capitol steps without masks and gloves from the danger of Covid-19. The major
problem is Michigan State Senator Peter Lucido, who does not support the advancement of the legislation for the Governor's signature. To correct this problem you must contact his office
daily and ask him to support House bill 5120 with the amendments for the Governor’s signature
into the law of the land.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We the people have lost our representative in Lansing. Isaac Robinson was a Detroit sports fan like the rest of us. You would see him in our neighborhoods and at Detroit Lions football games. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is a huge loss for us in District 4 and the State of Michigan. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In his own way, Isaac Robinson is currently leading the charge to fight the corona virus. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He would have supported the fight by bringing aircraft into and out of <a href="https://flightaware.com/resources/airport/KDET" target="_blank">Detroit City Airport(KDET)</a> with gloves, masks, ventilators, and testing kits. These supplies would be rapidly deployed into the neighborhoods to be used at recreation centers like Lasky Rec and, church parking lots by licensed medical professionals. By utilizing City Airport, identifying a virus would be much faster so that a vaccine may be developed. Products </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">manufactured and, shipped to hot-spots in the world from Detroit would help ignite an economic recovery that would benefit everyone. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We feel his spirit saying to us it is time to use every asset available in the City of Detroit to bring a solution to this problem.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To manufacture the needed equipment you need people to make it work. In order to hire them they have to pass a drug test for #Covid19 and #Cannabis. Given the need for workers to make the things we need, Rep Robinson would have asked for an executive order from the Governor to remove all penalties for testing positive for marijuana use as a condition of employment. This would accomplish the goal of stimulating the economy by removing another barrier to employment to anyone who wants to work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">On March 11, 2020 US District Court Judge Marianne O. Battani dismissed all charges against retired Michigan State Representative and former Detroit City Council-member George Cushingberry Jr. In a 23 page ruling, Judge Battani ruled that Cleo Wiley did not have sufficient evidence of sexual harassment and, was not entitled to protection under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as an Independent Contractor. The court properly ruled that anyone working for a Detroit City Council member is an at will employee subject to immediate dismissal. When you accept a job as a legislative aide, you have a resignation letter already filled out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A review of the record shows that Ms. Wiley took revenge against Mr. Cushingberry because he rejected her sexual advances after a brief affair in 2008. When the affair ended, she continued to work for him until 2017. The record is clear in showing that:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Ms. Wiley maliciously tried to include other women and, men who did not support her claims of sexual harassment.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Ms. Wiley was involved in other relationships while pursuing Mr. Cushingberry for sexual harassment allegations.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The record shows that the timing of the filing was done under the guise of the #MeToo movement </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">for financial gain and, </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">to prevent the re-election of George Cushingberry to the Detroit City Council in 2017 and, the Michigan State Senate in 2018. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello people. In case you haven't heard, <u>I was sentenced to 15 years and eight months in prison for medical marijuana.</u> This post may be a little lengthy but it's good and it's needed. Please read...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Please keep in mind the charges were only from hydroworld operations in which most of these charges were one in state court but the victories in State Court mean nothing in federal court. Just a reminder to marijuana business owners. The state license to own a marijuana business hold absolutely zero protection. If you're counting section 538 of the Rider bill (Rorhabacher-Farr)it only protects medical marijuana. Not recreational marijuana. If you're wondering why my sense is so high then please read this...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The bulk of my sentence comes from the amount of marijuana. I was convicted on in my case because we kept winning and State Court we were comfortable in believing we were compliant so we stayed open second because the feds chose to pick up the case years later,(according to my paperwork). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The amount of marijuana weighed increased not sure why the feds allowed us to stay open for so long. During the trial I was convicted of 1000kg from 2010 through 2016. Here's how the sentencing Works federally. My amount was reduced to 400 kg instead of 1000kg so in the federal system sensing system my base amount of 400 kilograms landed me at level 26 (63 to 78 months) in prison to start. Next, because it was my business my base level was increased by four levels. This increase is called "an organized or leader of criminal activity"(I was the boss of 3 or more people. We all file taxes and for a while we had payroll so it was hard to argue that fact, but it raise my base offense level was increased from 26 to 30 (97 to 121 months) in prison. Next my base offense levels were were increased again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because I rented building for the purpose of marijuana maintaining a drug establishment. My base offense level was increased two more points putting my offense level at a 32 (121 to 151 months) in prison. Next my base offense level was raised two more points to the criminal livelihood enhancement basically this means if I had more than minimum wage for over 6 months (if I remember correctly) then I am to receive a 2-point enhancement which now puts me out of base level of 3451 to 188 months. The IRS told me how to file as a marijuana business so I did and this constitutes criminal livelihood. Next my criminal history record takes place to add more time. 19 years ago I was pulled over with 93 grams of marijuana and because of this, my time as a criminal history category 1, which my sentence didn't increase yet but eighteen years ago I was pulled over with two and a half pounds of marijuana which now put my criminal history points to category 2 (168 to 210 months) in prison. Last but not least my drunk driving from 2012 (super drunk) put me in a criminal history 3 (388 to 235 months) in prison. So to all you marijuana business... men or women... just know all the feds have to do to charge you is say you are federally illegal and that's it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Recreational marijuana dispensaries have absolutely no protection. And the medical marijuana defenses are barred in federal court in the jurors are instructed to not regard any medical marijuana defense. Oh yeah, just so you know, during sentencing your money or records of money are converted to marijuana by dividing the cash amount by the price per gram determined by them. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My cash amounts were converted to grams of marijuana by dividing the cash associated with hydroworld throughout the years by dividing the cash by $11 per gram.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So to all your marijuana business owners, Growers, buses, managers Etc... Keep this in mind. If you are owning a marijuana business and renting a building for distribution or growing you will be "maintaining a drug establishment" and if you hire staff you will be the leader or "organizer of criminal activity" and if your business is successful you have you will have achieved "criminal livelihood" and all this can be proved by your taxes, your lease, and your business standing LLC.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also, the feds can choose to wait to prosecute you so your marijuana quality quantity will increase and even if you won your money back in state forfeiture Court proceedings and your money was returned to you every time, the feds still convert your returned forfeiture cash into marijuana grams. Also keep in mind that every cash into Marijuana grams. Also keep in mind that every plant is counted as 100 grams of marijuana even if the plant is 3 inches tall. If I were to have been charged in 2010, when my conspiracy started (according to my paperwork) I would have only faced 4 years.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While the State of Michigan is granting recreational licenses for Marijuana to others, one of our citizens is in jail awaiting sentencing in a federal court for up to 20 years for doing the same thing. Daniel Trevino will be sentenced under federal guidelines for a "crime" that is making cities like Ann Arbor and Evart up to $200,000 a day. Yet there is no outcry for justice from some in the Marijuana community. As a matter of fact, some of them support the federal governments efforts to keep Mr. Trevino in jail. This is highlight film for social equity efforts because Lansing Michigan is one of the cities on the list for social equity relief to victims of the war on drugs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On August 23, 2019 Danny Trevino was found guilty by a jury of his "peers" in Federal Court in Grand Rapids Michigan on 10 counts of:</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">T<span style="color: #444444;">his past Saturday, October 12, 2019, I was on the Campus
of Florida A&M University celebrating the homegoing of one of the
greatest Professors of Pharmacy known throughout the world Leonard Inge.
A simple poor kid, youngest of 13 siblings, from Pritchard
Al., who served as President of The National Pharmacist Association, 12 years
Florida Board of Pharmacy, 34 years Florida A&M University College of
Pharmacy (and I could go on and on an never complete this e-mail) where
his specialty was teaching Pharmacy Law and Compounding. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">I
was trained by one of the greatest Professors and Iv’e been practicing
pharmacy the same way, using the same concepts, methodology, the same
procedures and techniques in Pharmaceutical Compounding as taught to me at
Florida A&M University for over 45 years. Our continuing
education on Compounding Pharmaceuticals (from various sources) mirrors
that which was taught to me at Florida A&M by Leonard Inge and other
Professors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">So
I asked my self what has changed?? The answer points to one very questionable
and dangerous practice LAW ENFORCEMENT has intruded into defining medical
procedures and protocols. We see this in the so-called Opioid
Crisis, the idea OPIOID medications. are cannot be use for chronic pain are
simply not true and is misleading. Further the idea these medications are not
to be used in combination with other medications such those use to relieve
anxiety (benzodiazopines) , mood disorders or sleep are further in error. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Opioid
medications when prescribed and used for long term chronic pain will result in
dependency, therefore it becomes the role of the Pharmacist to ensure the
patient who is being treated for chronic pain on how to use of this class
medications correctly to ensure their safety. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">For
example, Oxycodone is a very effective medication for treating chronic
pain when used and taken at a therapeutic dose. Oxycodone, is effective against
most chronic pain generated from the central nervous system. However as
with any medication used to treat a chronic condition in order to sustain life
the patient may become permanently dependent on theses classes of drug for the
rest of their life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"> These
medications are safe when used correctly and like any medications control or
non control when taken beyond their therapeutic doses<b><u> are dangerous
and may result in death</u></b>. The literature more than clearly <b><u>show
death due to drug toxicity will likely occur when prescription opioid are taken
beyond its therapeutic amounts or commitant </u></b> use with
alcohol, other, substances meds. Most importantly, to this date unless in the
case of extreme anaphylaxis, there is no case in the literature when any
individual has succumbed to death when given a therapeutic dose of a medically
prescribed Opioid. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">However,
Law Enforcement (DEA, United States Attorney DOJ) in order to seek greater
power or authority "stigmatized the disease and traumatizes the
afflicted" (e.g. Sangu Delle) they have used heavy handed techniques
to target Physicians, Pharmacists, Nurses, Drug wholesalers particular African
America and other minorities in this manufactured medical Opioid
Crisis Epidemic to promote their funding. In fact DEA is the single
most government agency who tactics have the increase cost of medication and
healthcare all across America by mis-interpreting purpose and roles of
medications needed to treat acute, chronic, neuropathic and psychological,
pain. Law Enforcement (DEA, United States Attorney DOJ) have
engaged campaign of disinformation to sway the public to a point of that
these medications are in deed drugs, dangerous drugs who dosages are red flags
indicating abuse and trafficking contributing to the Opiod crisis around
America.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">When,
I was on my way back to the United States leaving Johannesburg on
Air France flying to Paris, and I came across <a href="https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fted.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C6244e1c53b644329ca5c08d750aff8cb%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637066589025385253&sdata=UlHYHXi9q26Fcwp2VNXdtfg2xrsIU0MjtHy1aLAwjrU%3D&reserved=0">TED.com</a> lectures
and became fascinated, enthralled specifically with the lecture of a
Nigerian Professor Sangu Delle concerning Mental health in-which he
says “…when it comes to mental illness our ignorance
eviscerates our empathy,” Professor Delle
elaborated, Dans Une etude realisee par Arbole Flores ( in a study done by
Arboleda-Flores), when directly asking people about the causes of
mental illness the result were staggeringly sad;<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Professor
Delle summarizes, mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and our
social well being most people simply ignore or fail to understand causes
of Mental illness which include, genetics, Social economics status, Wars
and conflicts, or the loss of a loved one. Professor
Delle emphasizes, <b>“we must stop stigmatizing the disease and

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She was known around the neighborhood as the original urban farmer of Detroit Michigan. Mrs. Bennett could
put a whupping on ANY agribusiness, farmer, or anybody else who thought they could
grow anything! She had the best farm in the city protected by a dog name Duke since
1962. She had no need to go to a grocery store for anything but milk, meat and,
washing detergent. She will be missed and the ancestors have gained another urban farmer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"2019 Elections in Highland Park, Warren, Lansing and, Hamtramck are serving as benchmarks for the 2020 Primary and General election."</span><br />
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Tuesday, August 6th, 2017 and, Tuesday November 5th, 2017, local elections will be held in many cities in the State of Michigan. Cities such as Highland Park, Lansing, Hamtramck, and others will be hosting primary elections for positions of Mayor, City Clerk, and Council seats.This is also the first election where same day voting rights are in full effect.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Therefore if you want vote on Tuesday, you are required to go to the Secretary of State's office FIRST, then drive back to your precinct to cast your ballot. By requiring a person to drive to a Secretary of State's office may be construed as a form of voter suppression. SOS branch offices may have to have ballots at the branch to accommodate same day voters or, voters need to have the ability to register to vote at the precinct then cast their ballot.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To solve this problem City, and County clerks must have tablets at voting precincts to allow people to register and cast their ballots, instead of travelling to a Secretary of State's office that closes at 8pm. In November of 2018 the voters wanted government that worked FOR the people. The people elected Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to make government more responsive to the people..</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Under the leadership of Lt. Governor Garlin Gilcrest this small detail in the same day voter registration process will be addressed and solved with the use of technology. Lt. Gov Gilcrest currently serves as the highest ranking Information Technology professional in State Government. Innovations in voter registration and coordinating 2020 census data collection will have the backing of the executive office and legal protection by Attorney General Dana Nessel. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If your city is holding an election on August 6th, get your ballot now from your City Clerk or, be a test case for same day voting on primary and general election days in 2019. Now you really don't have an excuse NOT to vote. If you believe in a cause and want your voice to be heard, just show up and vote. Foreign and domestic voting influencing is in full effect from Russia to Lansing and it will not stop. Facial recognition and deep-fake technology will be out to confuse the voters. The only way to combat this is to read and research a candidate and find out who is backing them, what are they priority issues, and prior performance. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can't be a person that was against Marijuana legalization and, show up months later to say that you support it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This goes for D.I.N.O. Democrats(Democrats In Name Only) and others who have betrayed the public trust. Change is needed in the City of Lansing and the person to get the job done is Scott Hughes in Ward 1. The City of Highland Park has the opportunity to opt-into Marijuana legalization on their ballot. A YES vote will allow the city to fix roads, open schools, and pay for a public school systems that was ravaged by looters and con men in the form of Emergency Management.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
